  1. That would indeed be an interesting comparison!
  2. Is that a display case for all your astro kit behind you, John? ?
  3. Another Neewer bag: this time to carry the Skywatcher AZ-GTi head, tripod and Tracer battery (front bag in pic). This is slightly larger than the Neweer bag which holds the Takahashi FC76 DCU (at the back in pic).
  4. Takahashi FQR-1 finder quick release and Tak MEF-3 micro focuser. Both for the FC76 DCU.
  5. Takahahsi FQR-1 quick release adapter for Tak 6x30 finderscope arrived and installed on the Takahashi FC76 DCU (I also have one on my Tak FS102)
  6. Pocket Borg, with Tak diagonal (and 18 mm eyepiece). I thought it would be amusing to load with with an ES 24 mm eyepiece too.
  7. The Skysensor 2k was launched over 20 years ago and was a great piece of kit. Vastly superior to the lethargic SS3D which preceded it and which I also had.
  8. I went down the f/6.3 reducer and 1.25 inch eyepiece route with my C9.25. I’m now using 2-inch eyepieces, which is giving me better results. This is for wide field views. I still use 1.25-inch eyepieces for planetary observation with shorter FL, though.
  9. Looks great Alan. How is the AZ-GTi handling it? Stable enough?
  10. Great report Chris. Glad to hear it's performing well for you. Are there any other SGL members that have got one of the scopes (apart from John, of course)?
  11. Very nice Alan, but won’t you have to change your icon to a map of the USA. Or at least the Pacific Rim? ?
  12. That’s a lovely rig @AstroKane good luck with the new observing season
  13. Many thanks for the report, Chris. Looks like not too much difference on the targets you looked at. Will be interesting to see how you get on when the transparency is better. There is an image by Nick James taken last night.
  14. What a lovely instrument Glen! Should make a brilliant travel scope too.
  15. Thanks for the report, Chris. I'd be interested to see how the ED150 compares to your C9.25 (I have one of those), especially on the planets. Good luck with your observing.
  16. New buffing pads for my electric polisher A couple of weeks ago I repainted the obsy floor and it is now a nice shiny grey. So I thought I'd better have a go at the outside of the dome. An electric polisher makes the job far easier, along with wax designed for GRP boats. I was pleased to get a sufficiently high gloss to get a reflection. I wonder how long it will last....
